I am only familar with their military boats but with a background of building them , she must be pretty stout. I would sell the Grey Marine and install a diesel for safety and convenience sake. A draft of 8'9" is not unusual for an older full keel boat, especially one on the Pacific coast. let's see some pics.

If she's wooden, there's a forum where someone will know about her. The Woodenboat Forum.
